Nice. I didn't know earth looks so "digitalised" from all the man made lights from the exterior.

Final flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour (OV-105) and also first photo of any space shuttle docked to the (now completed) International Space Station (ISS) from the vantage of another spacecraft.
As taken by ISS Expedition 27 'MagISStra', European Space Agency (ESA) Italian astronaut Paolo Angelo Nespoli in the departing Soyuz TMA-20. The Nikon D3x and lenses used was thereafter left behind in the unshielded orbital module (crew are seated in the descent module) of the Soyuz TMA-20 to be burned up during atmospheric re-entry.
The limited interior volume of the Soyuz decent module can be an extremely tight fit for the three astronauts or cosmonauts in their pressurised spacesuit, together with almost every crook and cranny of the inner surface filled by the flight control console and instrument display panel. Really not much of a space available for anything else.That's a lot of camera to burn up :S
